BACKGROUND: The article deals with regional employment and occupational morbidity indicators in Western Kazakhstan. AIM: The purpose is to study the employment indicators in hazardous working conditions and the dynamics of occupational morbidity in the West Kazakhstan region for the period 2013–2017. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Materials obtained from the Public Health Departments of the Aktobe, Atyrau, West Kazakhstan, and Mangystau regions were studied based on the results of periodic medical examinations of workers employed in hazardous working conditions for the period 2013–2017. The indicators of the dynamics of occupational morbidity in the region are derived from the annual reports of the West Kazakhstan branch of the RSE at the National Hygiene Center for Occupation and Occupational Diseases of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the period 2013–2017. RESULTS: The Atyrau, West Kazakhstan, and Mangystau regions saw an annual increase in the number of workers employed in hazardous production. In the Aktobe region, the number of people employed in hazardous working conditions decreased due to the decline in industrial production. There is a positive trend in this region to identify occupational diseases. In the Atyrau, West Kazakhstan, and Mangystau regions, the occupational morbidity rate is close to zero. CONCLUSION: It is necessary to revise the existing orders of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Kazakhstan concerning the improvement of the occupational health service.

In the Republic of Bashkortostan, in 2019, despite the deteriorating working conditions at workplaces in almost all industries, extremely low rates of occupational morbidity were observed. At the same time, almost every third employee of the surveyed types of economic activity is engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions. In total, 46 cases of occupational diseases were found in the Republic in 2019. The occupational morbidity rate was 0.42 per 10,000 employees (2018 — 0.32), which is significantly lower than in the Russian Federation (1.03 per 10,000 employees). The highest levels of occupational morbidity are registered in mining, manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. The structure of nosological forms of occupational diseases was dominated by diseases associated with physical overload and overstrain of individual organs and systems: sciatica of the lumbosacral level, polyneuropathy of the extremities and occupational diseases from the influence of physical factors: sensorineural hearing loss and vibration disease. Against the background of the continuing deterioration of working conditions in the Republic and the low quality of periodic medical examinations, extremely low rates of registered occupational diseases are observed.

Introduction. Due to the impact of adverse working conditions and climate, workers in coal-mining enterprises in the Arctic are at increased risk of occupational diseases (OD).The aim of the study was to study the working conditions, causes, structure and prevalence of occupational diseases in miners of coal mines in the Arctic.Materials and methods. Th e data of social and hygienic monitoring “Working conditions and occupational morbidity” of the population of Vorkuta and Chukotka Autonomous District in 2007–2017 are studied.Results. It was established that in 2007–2017 years, 2,296 ODs were diagnosed for the first time in 1851 coal mines, mainly in the drifters, clearing face miners, repairmen and machinists of mining excavating machines. Most often, the ODs occurred when exposed to the severity of labor, fibrogenic aerosols and hand-arm vibration. The development of professional pathology in 98% of cases was due to design flaws of machines and mechanisms, as well as imperfections of workplaces and technological processes. Diseases of the musculoskeletal system (36.2%), respiratory organs (28.9%) and nervous system (22.5%) prevailed in the structure of professional pathology of miners of coal mines. Among the three most common nosological forms of OD were radiculopathy (32.1%), chronic bronchitis (27.7%) and mono-polyneuropathy (15.4%). In 2017, coal miners in the Arctic had a professional morbidity rate of 2.82 times higher than the national rates for coal mining.Conclusions. To preserve the health of miners of coal mining enterprises, technical measures to improve working conditions and medical interventions aimed at increasing the body’s resistance to the effects of harmful production and climatic factors are necessary.

West Kazakhstan region is also rich in unique balneological hydromineral resources. The aim of the study was to review the studied, as well as little-known and promising, salt lakes of West Kazakhstan region, which have hydromineral resources suitable for balneological and recreational use is given. As a result of the field and laboratory researches in 2017-2020, 7 promising balneological sites were studied – the Lakes Bolshoy Sor, the Alzhansor, the Sorkol, the Hakisor, the Aralsor, the Edilbaysor, the Koysarysor. It was established that the studied peloids correspond to the genetic type of mainland silt mineral (sulphide) therapeutic mud typical of arid regions. According to the main indicators, the studied peloids are generally suitable for use in recreational, therapeutic and medical purposes, and in terms of the content of salts and therapeutically valuable components, they are not inferior to the medical mud of the resorts of Western Kazakhstan and the Dead Sea recognized in balneological practice.

The Convention on Biological Diversity (1992) considers conservation, research and conservation as a guarantee of ecosystem sustainability. One of the most pressing problems in the Republic of Kazakhstan is the conservation of biodiversity and the rational use of biological resources. Fungi as heterotrophic organisms play a vital role in the functioning of any ecosystem. Although the fungi depend on plants, leaning towards sufficiently closed connections with certain plant communities, plant communities, in turn, are not able to exist without fungi. The study of macromycetes as components of biogeocenosis, is impossible without studying their species composition. The lack of information about macromycetes in the regions under study prevents not only the diversification and exhaustion of the study of the corresponding ecosystem and the development of a comprehensive approach to the protection of natural resources in the department. Especially limited information about the microflora of the West Kazakhstan region, the introduction of only episodic data requires a review of the history of the study of mycobiotics. This is evidenced by the materials provided in this article.

The problem of industrial injuries and occupational diseases of workers is relevant for all countries, including the Republic of Kazakhstan, where more than 200 people die every year and more than 2,000 are injured at workplaces due to hazardous and harmful production factors, including insufficient natural or artificial illumination of workplaces. The aim of the work is to study the level of illumination of workplaces at enterprises of the Republic of Kazakhstan and to establish the influence of this factor on the working conditions. The object of the study is workplaces and employees of one of the largest machine-building plants, where 60 employees were interviewed, and instrumental measurements of illumination levels were performed in two workshops. The questionnaire method and methods for assessing workplaces by the level of illumination were used. The analysis showed that the largest number of surveyed workers (58.4%) were not satisfied with the level of illumination; according to the instrumental measurements of illumination, 40.9% and 46.6% of workplaces were harmful and dangerous. Employees working under harmful conditions are entitled to a number of benefits and compensations. Thus, the creation of rational working conditions, including illumination of workplaces, helps to minimize injuries and occupational diseases and increase the efficiency and productivity of labor.

The retrospective analysis of the morbidity rate, the loss of the workability in health workers of the Republic of Bashkortostan with occupational diseases over the period from 1960 to 2015 was executed. The distribution of absolute and relative indices of the occupational morbidity rate by years is presented. The factors of the production environment and the labor process contributing to the development of occupational diseases are singled out. The leading place in the structure of the primary morbidity is held by occupational diseases associated with chemical (toxic-allergic) factors, the second - with diseases associated with the impact of physical factors; the third - diseases from the influence of biological factors.

Abstract. Working conditions have a significant impact on the health of the working population. In the Republic of Tatarstan (RT), there are still industries where unsatisfactory working conditions lead to a high risk of developing occupational diseases. The aim of the work was to assess the occupational morbidity (DI) in the Republic of Tatarstan of the structure, dynamics, main reasons and factors affecting its formation. The aim of the work was to assess the occupational morbidity (DI) in the Republic of Tatarstan of the structure, dynamics, main reasons and factors affecting its formation. The analysis was carried out on the basis of data from the Office of Rospotrebnadzor in the Republic of Tatarstan, the Center for Occupational Pathology, and Tatarstanstat. Results: The proportion of workers employed in harmful and (or) hazardous working conditions in the Republic of Tatarstan amounted to 47.9% -50.8% of the payroll number of the working population. PP indicators in the Republic of Tatarstan over the past 10 years are 1.39 - 1.88 per 10 thousand employees. The highest levels of PZ are recorded among agricultural workers - from 5.22 to 10.12 and manufacturing - from 3.46 to 7.41 cases per 10 thousand. The leading places are occupied by diseases associated with exposure to noise and vibration. The main share of the identified occupational diseases was registered in workers of working age (50-59 years) with over 30 years of work experience. Conclusion. During the analyzed period, the PP indicators in the Republic of Tajikistan remained higher or at the level of the PP in the Russian Federation (RF). The main share of occupational diseases was registered at aircraft and mechanical engineering enterprises. We associate the observed increase in the proportion of diseases with the loss of professional ability to work with the untimely referral of patients for examination, as well as their late appeal to the center of occupational pathology.

Based on the results of our 2017–2021 field research, the coordinates of 17 meeting points of the sunwatcher toadhead agama (Phrynocephalus helioscopus) (Pallas, 1771) in the West Kazakhstan and Atyrau regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan are given, from 49°17.256'N, 48°14.048'E in the North to 46°34.330'N, 55°49.319'E in the South. The northern limit of the modern distribution in the Volga-Ural (Volga-Zhaiyk) interfluve is the saline in the Aral-sor lacustrine-saline depression and the Baigutta sor-liman depression in the left bank of the Ural (Zhaiyk) River. The sunwatcher toadhead agama habitats are confined to open spaces with salt lakes and sors. The dependence of the body’s upper side colour of sunwatcher toadhead agamas on the general background of the substrate is illustrated, namely: the colour is brown or dark grey on dark substrates, and light grey or ashy on light substrates. The history of the description of the species by P. S. Pallas and I. I. Lepekhin is briefly considered. According to the original and literary data the modern north-western border of the habitat, passing through the West Kazakhstan and the adjacent regions of the Russian Federation, has been clarified. It goes from the northern coast of the Caspian Sea, through Makhambet district of the Atyrau region, Krasnoyarsk and Kharabalinsky districts of the Astrakhan region, Kurmangazinsky district of the Atyrau region, Akhtubinsky district of the Astrakhan region, Bokeyordinsky district of the West Kazakhstan region, Pallasovsky district of the Volgograd region, and Kaztalovsky and Akzhayik districts of the West Kazakhstan region.

The article highlights the conditions for natural reproduction of fish in the Ural river in the West Kazakhstan region. Spawning of semi-anadromous and migratory fish in the lower and middle Ural on the territory of Kazakhstan has great importance for growing qualitative composition of fish populations due to the vigorous recruit-stocks. There are given the data obtained in the course of research in 2007-2018 by the researchers of a regional affiliate of Kazakh Research Institute of Fisheries. Concentration of fish juveniles in the river, dynamics of numbers, size and weight data have been brought, as well as new fishing gear for juveniles developed and tested in 2012-2018. The data on the hydrological regime of the reservoir and its influence on the efficiency of fish spawning are highlighted. It has been stated that in arid years insufficient water content and short flood period create unfavorable conditions for spawning phytophilous specious, especially, for late spawning of sazan. There has been shown the yearly interrelation between hydrological parameters and juvenile productivity. The flood land spawning grounds of abundant phytophilous specious in the Ural are found to require a regular technical melioration because of fast weediness in summer and girts clogged with snags during the flood. Absence of sturgeon species in samples signals for the lack of their natural productivity and the need of stocking the middle part of the Ural with beluga, ship, sturgeon juveniles. Recommendations for improving the conditions of natural reproduction of fish in the reservoir have been presented.
